“Karin Hueber hollows out spaces and jacks them up. She produces hard echoes that do not respond simply, but cross a materially thought-out emptiness. Even when they have fallen silent, they are not soft. They remain sharp, precise and angular.
The works are sculpturally constructed folds and contortions that carry a place within them, gather it into itself, and then turn to meet it on the offensive. Abstract walls/surfaces/containers supporting themselves on structures adjacent to, behind, or under them to get into position. Architectonic bodies placed upright that put a huge load on themselves and rest precariously in themselves, and thus (in their own extreme presence) indicate different spatial connections in which they (now) stand and come into being.”
MY THOUGHTS
I really like Huebers minimal aesthetics and use of space. I enjoy like her use of structures, I feel like they are really effective when positioned inside an architectural space, it really relates to the structures we positions ourself within.
Vis à Vis is a work i particularly relate to. The way two flat surfaces interest and create a new dimension and object which adopts space is exciting. They are also a similar size to human beings creating a very tactile experience with the artwork, and this kind of scale is something certainly worth investigating further.
